The Weaver Subscription Lifetime Value Model

The Weaver Subscription Lifetime Value Model is a powerful and easy-to-use Excel workbook which calculates the financial returns from new subscription promotion campaigns.

The Weaver Subscription Lifetime Value Model enables publishers to:

  • Calculate subscription volumes, revenues, profits and lifetime values from each subscription acquisition campaign

  • Optimise the allocation of promotion budgets across marketing channels and source groups
  • Forecast the effects of changes in the marketing mix such as subscription prices, response rates, pay-up rates, renewal rates and payment methods
  • Rank the relative attractiveness of each subscription acquisition campaign using a variety of user-selected criteria such as cost per order, ROI, £ return per £ spent and LTV per sub
  • Determine the maximum number of new subscription orders that can be generated from a given promotion budget
  • Calculate the minimum promotion budget needed to generate a given number of new subscription orders
  • Phase new subscription starts month-by-month

The Weaver Subscription Lifetime Value Model incorporates all new subscription variables such as prices, term length and payment methods, and they allow fundamental strategic questions to be addressed such as:

  • Determine the financial consequences of different types of acquisition offers such as discount, gift-with-purchase, bill-me's and free issues
  • Compare the profitabilities of newsstand sales and subscription sales
  • Investigate the consequences of Direct Debit offers at the point of acquisition and at the point of renewal
  • Calculate the financial effects of Direct Debit offers with step-up prices, such as 3 issues for £1 followed by 12 issues for £30

There are three lifetime value models in the product range. The simplest model (Bronze) supports 30 acquisition campaigns across 15 new subscription source groups. The most comprehensive model (Gold) supports 50 acquisition campaigns across 25 new subscription source groups.
